The long-anticipated reunion is finally official. After a strategic delay due to the complex NBA salary cap, the Golden State Warriors have signed veteran sharpshooter Seth Curry for the remainder of the season, uniting him with his brother, Stephen, and addressing a critical need for their roster.
According to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Warriors have secured the 35-year-old guard, fulfilling the plan that was initially set during training camp. At that time, Curry was waived due to the team’s “financial restraints” and their position hard-capped at the restrictive second apron. This required Golden State to start the season with only 14 players on the roster, saving the 15th spot specifically for this moment.
The timing of the move is impeccable for a Warriors team that has struggled with inconsistent perimeter shooting. As a team, the Dubs are connecting on just 35.9% of their three-point attempts, a figure that ranks in the bottom half of the league. Seth Curry, a career 43.5% shooter from deep, represents a direct and proven solution to this problem. He has shot below 40% from three-point range only twice in his ten-year career, making him one of the most reliable floor-spacers available.
For the Warriors, this is more than a sentimental story of brothers uniting. It is a calculated basketball decision that provides a much-needed injection of elite shooting. While the narrative of the Curry brothers sharing a jersey will capture headlines, the real value for Golden State lies in Seth’s ability to stretch the floor, create space for the offense, and help ignite a shooting surge that could propel the team up the Western Conference standings.
